LOL. I'm in the same boat but it's funny anyway.

It's funny to watch the '86 show in the Ritz, NY, where suddenly he's nearly bald almost rockin' a bill bailey, and it's just a year since this video....

[@tommyt1971]

[@valeriy.1446]

[@timturk1899]

Amazing! In 85' we would have "killed a man" for this footage! When MTV Sucked the Big One! The Poppy "Hair Meta"l Bands were on display though, lol! We were in bands or Dead by the time "Headbanger's Ball" came out. I think after Grunge exploded, MTV went to The Real Metal?! What an amazing time listening to Slayer in the mid 80's. And when "Reign In Blood" was released, we were thoroughly Blown Away!!! Amazing footage!🤘🤘💜🙏

[@johnnhoj5935]

I've thought this same thing all the time. Absolutely pushing the envelope in terms of speed and disregard for traditional blues-based hard rock/heavy metal tropes.

[@drewskidooo9954]

They played FASTER than the original holy fuck. The energy is insane

[@Exiled_Rouge]

Unreal performance. The sheer fury of Slayer in their prime is still unmatched in an authentic sense by any metal group I have seen since.

[@pedestrian555]

and Exodus with Paul Baloff

[@oliverguenther8305]

Yeah,SLAYER was bad ass back then ,their newer stuff they just went through the grooves to make money based on their name. It wasn't the same since Jeff died.😔

[@BegetterVIIEVEN]

Sepultura in their prime.

[@shanesantos5625]

As a Diehard Slayer fan, as far as I'm concerned "World Painted Blood" was and Is their last record. I don't care what any body thinks but that record is a Fucking Masterpiece ! 🤘

I saw them in Brooklyn in 1985, in f I remember correctly it was L ‘Amours. Saw them this year(2019), which was the best, because I was in the pit with my all of my sons (3).

[@eon14873]

You're obviously a great parent

[@nelsoncampos7968]

When Lombardo wants to get going, there’s no stopping him

[@richmoreno9938]

I saw them twice in ‘85. Once at the Reseda Country Club and the other at Hollywood Palladium with Venom and Exodus-still have my ticket stubs. Absolutely mind shattering and life changing for the 17 year old boy I was. The Country Club performance was as equally intense as this vid here. Everything right in your face-being pressed against the stage (minus the stage barrier) you could LITERALLY feel the wind whipping off their hair while they were hammering their guitars. Just phenomenal beyond words. Some of the top shows of my life.

[@lepewed6872]

was there too!!!

[@tomowenpianochannel]

Best live band I ever saw. Intimidating presence, unbelievable intensity, speed, raw power, aggression, dominating everything in the arena.

[@GravTsport]

I was at the Reseda show as well. I still remember Abattoir's guitar player blocking the security guys when the punkers started stage diving after DRI's set. Such a good night.

[@marcgregoryneville]

They are the only band out of the big 4 that is worth watching live nowadays. Metallica has shitty setlists and James can't sing anymore. Megadeth are OK but they don't plays songs like skull beneath the skin, or killing is my business, or anything considered "evil or edgy" cause Dave is religious as fuck nowadays. And anthrax suffers the same problem as Metallica Joey just can't sing anymore.
